Browne Jacobson revenue nears £150m following 9% rise

Browne Jacobson has reported revenue of £148.8 million for FY26, up 9% on the previous year.

The figures continue an impressive run of growth for the UK and Ireland firm, which recorded double-digit revenue increases in each of the last four years.

The firm pointed to growth across its key practice areas including health and life sciences, government, education, financial services, insurance, real estate, energy, retail, construction and more.

Browne Jacobson has been active on several notable mandates, advising Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS on its Regent Street flagship store, the Office for Life Sciences on its £85 million Obesity Pathway Innovation Programme with Eli Lilly, and developers of Europe's largest tidal energy project off Anglesey.

Slower but steady

While growth slowed from the 16% increase recorded in FY25, the latest results do not include the contribution from Belfast-based Davidson McDonnell, which joined the firm in May and now operates as Browne Jacobson Northern Ireland.

This year’s expansion follows on from an FY25 marked by aggressive growth - the firm hired the highest number of laterals in the firm’s history that year across the UK and Ireland.

This year, aside from its Belfast merger, it relocated to a new office in Cardiff and doubled the size of its Manchester premises.

What they said

Managing partner Richard Medd said the year had been defined by investment and expansion.

“This has been a year of purposeful investment, bold ambition and significant progress,” he said.

“We have strengthened our presence across the island of Ireland, welcomed and promoted exceptional talent, accelerated our adoption of AI and continued to invest in the capabilities that will define the future of professional services.”
